I did the hand piecing (EPP) of the Diamond Carat block even though I didn't like doing it & am so bad at it.
I really like how the quilting turned out on the hexie block.

Q&A with Darns

gmhnQuilts asked:

these are gorgeous!

Darns answered:

Thank you! Lots of fun (except for the English Paper Piecing - not good at handsewing!)

Pam NZ asked:

What fun you're having Darns! LOVE the hexie block... the FMQ is very effective.... did you have to measure and draw the faux hexies? Go you!

Darns answered:

Hi, Pam! As it turned out, I had a paper hexie template so I just lined it up with the pieced ones & drew lines on the background.

Polarjo asked:

Simply stunning. You are always such an inspiration to me.

Darns answered:

Thanks so much, Polarjo! There is so much inspiration on Craftsy that I have way too many projects going on.

Barbara Hughes asked:

perfect fabric for these patterns. Great work!

Darns answered:

Thank you, Barbara! My Diamond Carat was not as good as the BOM block - it's supposed to look like a faceted diamond - too much thinking about where to use the fabrics, so I gave up & went with a more symmetrical arrangement.
